Thor he/him Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I shall do so, then: "Marsh, unlike other Inquisitors, had been a member (and, eventually, leader) of the Skaa rebellion for much of his life. They, on other hand, were exceptionally dutiful Obligators, who had spent years as Inquisitors worshiping the Lord Ruler as God. It would have been child's play for Ruin to convince them that it was The Lord Ruler's immortal spirit, grooming one or all of them to become the next Sliver of Infinity and guide mankind into a new era, after scourging away the unrighteous with hordes of Koloss. Marsh would never believe that, and they both knew it, which is why Marsh got more spikes then other Inquiisitors, with the net result that he barely had enough control to twitch a finger. Had any other, less-spiked Inquisitor had Marsh's perspective, they might have been even more devastating to Ruin's plans... had they been smart enough to use that advantage nearly as well as Marsh used his. In short, Marsh differs from other Inquisitors wildly in terms of perspective and reasoning, but despite being famous for his resolve, we have no reason to assume he was more resistant to Hemalurgy innately." -- Deus Ex Biotica P.S. Also, didn't TenSoon have Mental Fortitude? My books are not with me right now, but I recall the footnotes remarking that we never actually see the Emotional Fortitude Blessing in the book. Ooooo. Where is that quote from, Deus Ex Biotica? That answers the question for why Marsh had the largest number of spikes in him very nicely...
